Overprotected — Britney Spears Lyrics

Overprotected Song Lyrics

---

I need time, love, joy
I need space, love
I need... me
Action!

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers...

CHORUS

What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell them what I like, what I want and what I don't
But everytime I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told, I can't believe what I hear about the world
I realize I'm overprotected
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers...

CHORUS - repeat

I need time... love... I need space

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no, no... nobody's telling me just what I wanna... do do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me...

CHORUS - repeat

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I what, what, what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no no... nobody's telling me just what I wanna... do do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me

CHORUS - repeat
